Wow, they're still doing these? I though this test went extinct with the

I thought the same thing when I saw a notice sometime within the past few
years. I'm pretty sure, then, that they did stop it, and it's now
been resurrected.

Now, it seems more of a challenge, and obviously more people have
pretty fancy equipment than in the old days.

You are correct -- it was resurrected.

I participated, and actually found it to be harder than it sounds.
It's not all that easy to zero-beat a signal in a crowded band when
the signal is just above the ambient noise level. It required far
more wetware-usage than I expected.

I'm sending in my results today.
